IEARN(International Education and Resourse Network) offers innumerous highly ITC tools to enhance teaching in different educational areas. Teachers and students work hard through the school year at their projects and then arrange online Skype or Elluminate meetings or VC to share their final work with each other and discuss some important project issues.
On June 21 there was a VC between Pakistani and Russian students.
Pakistani students are participating in a two-year after school English language teaching program and come from three different centers. Please check it at http://www.iearnpk.org/accesskhi/index.html .
Students from Miass, Russia
The First Educational Summer Camp "Magister IQ" has been organized within the governmental program "Gifted students". Students from different schools were awarded the right to rest and get more knowledge at the Summer Camp "Master IQ" in June.
Mainly these students are winners of Maths and Physics Olympiads.
Teachers of different subjects were invited to teach summer camp students. But instead of typical school subjects we were supposed to involve them into creative activities.
Summer Camp students took part in IEARN Folk Tales/Storytelling: Past and Present Project.
The Russian students decided to tell Pakistani students about famous Russian folk tales characters.
They drew pictures of the famous Russian folk tales heroes....
....posted their greetings and art to the project forum ....
This Video Conference has been run thanks to advice and support from the Folk Tales/Storeytelling:Past and Present Project Facilitator Saleem Ibrahim.
Saleem, I completely agree with you.
Thank you, Saleem!!!

Welcome to school 16
Why did you decide to become a teacher?
This is a question often asked. To tell the truth I don’t remember exactly why? At the age of 17, when I had to choose my future career , I could either choose a career of an English language teacher because I adored my own English teacher who was young, dressed fashionably and she knew her subject well. Or because my granddad was a headmaster and there at home I heard a lot about inner world of school life. At the same time I remember that being high school students few friends of mine and I were pioneer leaders and involved junior students in after school activities. May be all these factors combined directed me straight to the Teachers’ Training Institute? I don’t remember.
But there comes another question: “Why didn’t I change my job taking into consideration poor conditions of teachers in Russia?” Every time when there appeared good offers to change the job the first thought always was “Yes, I shall apply for a new job.” But on the second thought I could hardly imagine myself doing this or that monotonous work. One can’t help denying that teacher’s job is difficult and at the same time it is creative, unpredictable and public. A teacher can be compared to an orchestra conductor who gives instructions and lets pupils perform. Also, a good teacher implies many roles. A teacher assumes many roles even during one lesson. A good teacher is a mentor, a motivator and a counselor, a spark that ignites students and inspires their hearts and minds to the subject and sometimes to the other aspects of life. I teach students aged from 7 to 17, and always modify my methods to match the students’ needs. I know for sure that if you are motivated and love your subject students accept you and your creative ideas. They have motivation and go happily to school for your classes.
On the contrary if you are not motivated, your apathy is transmitted to your students.
A teacher can’t work at school without love for children. Love means that a teacher and his/her students understand each other without words.
I am a Teacher, and I am proud of it.
I am an English Teacher and it also makes me proud.
I can make my small classroom a part of global community and the global community a part of my classroom. My students are proud that I am their Teacher.
This lovely song tells a lot how it is to be a teacher.
And are you proud of being a teacher?

AN INCONVENIENT YOUTH - Cancun segment
Dear friends,
I would like to share with you a film about the global youth climate movement. Young people from all over the world got together at UN Climate Change Conference in Cancun, Mexico to speak out their frustrations and hopes regarding world climate change problems.
This short documentary was created by a young talented filmmaker from Canada Slater Jewell-Kemker.The film won at TIFF for best emerging young filmmaker at the Toronto International Film Festival - Jump Cuts.
AN INCONVENIENT YOUTH is a documentary that gives a voice to kids on the front lines of climate change.
I do hope that watching and discussing "An Inconvient Youth" with our students will help us, ELT, make our English classes more exciting and meaningful.

Together with birds project
Ural is known for long, cold and frosty winters. It's a hard time for our small friends - animals and birds. When there was launched An International Feed a bird action
(coordinator Svetlana Yakubovskaya, Belarus) school 16, Miass students joined it without any doubt. This lovely bird was chosen as a logo for their activity .
Students of different grades worked at this project-action as one team. Handicraft teacher Alexander Rudko taught his students to make feeders. Elementary school students created poems and booklets, drew pictures of wintering birds and made canteens for their feathering friends. Have a look at this slide show and you will see how enthusiastic the students were.
<
Denis Zadorogin ( 3B grade) is sharing his concern about wintering birds in Ural region :
"Winter is a difficult time for those birds which don’t fly away to warm countries. Wintering birds suffer from cold and hunger. It’s difficult for them to find some food under the thick layer of snow. I think we must help our feathering friends. I made a feeder and hang it on the birch tree in my yard. I put on there some seeds, bread crump and millet. Every morning different birds flew up to my feeder – sparrows and tomtits. Once I saw a beautiful bullfinch.
We must care for wintering birds and in summer time they will thank us with their singing and catching insects in our gardens."
Some students made poems . :)))))
«Воробей, мой воробьишка, Прилетай ко мне скорей, Покормлю тебя до сыта, Будешь сытый воробей »
... and created fascinating feeding palaces for their feathering friends.
How do you find these creations?
Students also created power point presentations within the International Feed the birds action.
Matvey Gorchakov , 3A grade (Teacher Irina Liskonog) is sharing his concern about wintering birds.Eugeni Michailov , 3 A grade (Teacher Irina Liskonog) attracts our attention to our feathering friends' difficulties through poems and riddles.
